[Bug 329038] Re: xshm support missing

[Séverin Lemaignan]

What can be done to solve this bug which affect the final release of
Jaunty as well? since it seems unlikely that a recompiled version of
squeak-vm is to be proposed within the Jaunty cycle (but I may be
wrong?), I think we could at least offer a "patched" version of the
etoys launch script, without the -xshm option, as proposed on
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/etoys/+bug/301190.

I see this issue as important: we have today a packaged application that
can simply not be launched in Ubuntu without a workaround inaccessible
for the main targets of the software: educators and children.

Status in “squeak-vm” source package in Ubuntu: Confirmed

Bug description:
Binary package hint: squeak-vm

The VM in this package seems to be compiled without support for the X shared memory extension. I suggest to change this, as it affects at least one package (etoys). The corresponding bug is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/etoys/+bug/301190 - its effect is that Etoys cannot be started out of the box.
